Iowa sweet corn is now available for purchase from local farmers.
Dan Dennison with Dan-D Farms south of Knoxville tells KNIA/KRLS News some local farmers been relatively lucky with the amount of rain in the area combined with the heat, and that let the corn come in a little earlier than usual. Dennison also said that there are a lot of ways to eat corn, but his favorite is simply to boil freshly picked sweet corn for two minutes and eat it. Butter and salt is ok, but for the “most party” freshly picked and boiled is the way to go.
Sweet corn stands are available on Highway 14 in Knoxville at multiple locations.
